Medicine prescribed are drugs like buprenorphine, methadone, and other drugs that stop withdrawal and curb cravings for opioid addicted clients. SAMSHA certified opioid rehabilitation centers in Oakley are programs which are legally allowed to distribute the medications used in MAT as long as they maintain their certification and continue to meet certain requirements. A requirement that MAT individuals must also get auxiliary benefits aside from medicine such as counseling or behavioral therapy.

An opioid treatment center can receive basic approval documentation while they endeavor to get their full accreditation, but must become fully accredited within a year. Opioid treatment facilities authorized by SAMSHA need to get licensed also by their own state. Likewise, they need to list themselves with the Drug Enforcement Administration via a local DEA office. Once an opioid rehab program is certified, they need to get re-certified each year or every 3 years depending on the type of accreditation it has been granted.
